Having learned to cook from her mother at a very young age, Maryann makes everything from to use older cookbooks since she feels today’s recipe books have become so modernized that dishes lose much of the flavor they should have. Ethnic foods of all types are enjoyed by the Storz family. Of Italian descent, Maryann specializes in Italian dishes, making her own ravioli and noodles. Both Maryann and her husband Larry are originally from Luzerne. Maryann is a graduate of Bishop O’Reilly High School and Wilkes College. At Wilkes Maryann majored in social studies.

She likes to work with her hands whether cooking, doing crewel work or wallpapering a room in her home. Recently Maryann constructed a brick hearth in the family room of her home.

Larry is currently in the process of converting the basement of their home into a family room and workshop. The Storz’ often take one- day trips to places of in- terest.
